Answers:
That weight sounds fine for her height. I doubt that she is fat. :)
To a very high degree, you should weigh as much as you feel happy with weighing.

As far as a "healthy weight", that's what most of the other posts are about (calculating your BMI, diet plans, etc). but most people will say what the "average" is according to different opinions.

As long as you are at a weight where you are healthy, the most important part is that you are HAPPY with your weight... not that you "should be X pounds", but that no matter what you weigh, you are happy with that instead of striving to be a size 2 or something like that

That being said, if you want to lose weight, exercise is a really good (and safe) way to lose weight. In addition to that, I would recommend meeting with a nutritionist or dietitian to see if there is something else that may benefit you more.
It sounds like she's a good weight
I like soccer. I don't watch it on tv so much. But it's so cool when they say, "gooooooaaaaaaaal!!"

And I think they could design cooler looking soccer balls. Black and white is sooooo yesterday.
she just might be self conscience about overly muscular legs that she thinks are fat. Her weight is just fine. She could workout the rest of her body to even out her appearance.
